Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 475
Suddenly, only a soft "squeak" was heard, and the entrance was slowly closed.

Di Renjie shouted loudly: "No, hurry up!"

Li Yuanfang jumped up and rushed towards the secret door, but it was already too late, the secret door closed with a "bang".

Everyone looked around, in the silence, only heard a hissing sound from the top of the underground hall.

Wang Mang's expression changed: "No, my lord, it's poisonous gas!"

Di Renjie shouted, "Di Chun, bring a damp cloth!"

Di Chun promised to hand over the wet cloth that had been prepared, and Di Renjie hurriedly said: "The wet cloth covers your face and your body lies down. Don't breathe when changing the cloth!"

As he spoke, he covered his face with the wet cloth in his hands, and everyone hurriedly followed suit.

The white mist became thicker and thicker, gradually filling the entire underground hall.

Di Renjie and others leaned against the shaft of the car.

Gradually, the fog became so thick that no one could be seen on the opposite side.

Di Renjie's breathing became heavy, he quickly held his breath and put on another wet cloth.

Suddenly, Wang Mang who was beside him touched him lightly, and Di Renjie turned his head.

Wang Mang pointed forward, and Di Renjie turned around, only to see a faint figure running towards their hiding place in the thick fog.

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang slowly drew out their steel knives and sharp swords, and Di Renjie gently pressed their hands.

The figure rushed to the front in a blink of an eye. This person was wearing a strange mask, and the two eyes exposed from the mask seemed to be a woman.

She gestured with her hand to ask Di Renjie and others to follow her.

Di Renjie nodded and stood up, the woman walked forward quickly, followed by Di Renjie, Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang, Di Chun and others.

In a blink of an eye, a group of people came to the wall, the woman reached out and patted the wall lightly, the secret door opened, and everyone rushed out of the underground hall into the secret passage.

The woman reached out and took off the mask on her head, it was Mrs. Weier.

Di Renjie, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang were stunned.

Wei'er whispered: "Why, didn't expect that?"

Di Renjie cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Madam for your second rescue."

Wei'er pouted: "Okay, if it wasn't for that belt, I wouldn't have saved you!"

When Di Renjie saw what she said, he laughed.

Weier said: "The news from the agency here is extremely powerful, and you can kill you if you don't see anyone. So you can't leave through the gate, come with me!"

As she spoke, she turned around and ran towards a fork in the road on the right, followed by Di Renjie and others.

Wang Mang frowned, not knowing what Weier was doing, he pondered for a while, and followed behind.

At this time, the heavy rain had stopped, the sky was dim, and there was mist and swamp in the empty mountain.

Suddenly, a rock beside the mountain wall opened with a "bang", and Wei'er led Di Renjie and Wang Mang out: "Okay, this is already in the mountains, and you can go straight north to Liangzhou. It seems that you can only walk .”

Di Renjie cupped his hands and said, "Thank you again Madam for saving me."

Wei'er shook her head: "It can be seen that you are not ordinary people, so I leave the letter and belt to you."

Di Renjie said: "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely bring it."

Wei'er said solemnly: "The matter is very important, please do everything possible to get the things to Hong Gu's hands no matter what. Alright, I'm going back, otherwise Wang Qiang will definitely get suspicious."

Di Renjie nodded.

Wang Mang cupped his hands: "Thank you Madam for your help, if there is anything wrong, Madam forgive me."

Wei'er smiled: "Okay, seeing that you usually look scary with a sullen face, I didn't expect to pay so much courtesy, so I'm leaving."

Saying that, she quickly walked back to the secret passage.

Di Renjie let out a long breath: "It's so dangerous, thanks to Wei Er."

Di Chun on the side said: "Master, thanks to you too, if you hadn't asked us to prepare wet cloths, all of us would have been paid."

Di Renjie said: "It's also thanks to Jing Yang for reminding me."

Wang Mang said: "My lord, don't be modest!"

Di Renjie laughed.

At this time, Li Yuanfang said: "My lord, we must rush to Liangzhou as soon as possible and tell Brother Zeng about this matter. This evil place must be completely eradicated!"

Di Renjie murmured: "These people will not allow us to rush to Liangzhou alive. If they find us fleeing, they will definitely chase and kill us with all their strength. Therefore, Yuan Fang, we must do the opposite."

Li Yuanfang was stunned: "My lord, what is the meaning of this?"

Di Renjie said: "Just now Madam asked us to go north, but we just wanted to go south and head to Liangzhou by detour through the mountains."

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and they nodded.

……

It was noon.

The gate of the Governor's Mansion was heavily guarded, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

The courtyard was full of officials at all levels of the Liangzhou government office, fear pervaded the crowd, and everyone discussed in a low voice.

In front of the back hall, Chang Shi wandered anxiously.

Sima at the side walked up to him and said in a low voice: "Lord Inspector has not said a word since he returned to the Yamen this morning. It has been several hours now. What's going on?"

Chang Shi stopped, looked at the back hall, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday evening, Mr. Zeng led the city defense battalion into the desert to meet the army of Longwuwei who was sending money. But now, Mr. Inspector came back, but he didn't see the army. And the traces of payment, it seems that the SLM army must have gone wrong in the desert."

Sima was shocked: "What? Your Excellency, once there is a problem with the 500 million taels of payment to the border, it will not only be the responsibility of the Governor, but also you and I will suffer!"

Chang Shi said: "I hope I am worrying unnecessarily. If this is true, even if the emperor grants mercy, we will also be guilty of lax governance."

In the governor's mansion, Zeng Tai was full of sorrow, wandering around in the hall.

General Fang Zhe of Longwuwei closed his eyes tightly and lay on the couch.

A doctor was checking his pulse.

Zeng Tai stopped in his tracks and asked eagerly, "How is it?"

The doctor said softly: "The injury is serious, but his life is not in serious danger."

Zeng Tai took a long breath and said, "You have to take good care of it."

The doctor bowed and said, "Please rest assured, my lord."

Zeng Tai nodded, pondered for a while, and walked slowly towards the entrance of the back hall.

The officials were anxiously waiting for Zeng Tai in the back hall.

Suddenly an official said in a low voice: "Lord Inspector is here!"

All the officials looked at the front of the back hall in unison, and everyone's discussion stopped immediately.

Seeing Zeng Tai, everyone slowly gathered around him.

Chang Shi said softly: "Lord Inspector..."

Zeng Tai waved his hand and interrupted him.

silence.

The suffocating silence.

After a long time, Zeng Tai raised his head and opened his mouth, but no words came out.

The officials looked at each other.

Zeng Tai cleared his throat vigorously, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Comrades, yesterday the Iron Armored Army of Zuolongwuwei, who was liberated from the border customs with a salary of 500 million taels, encountered an evil god in the desert. Three thousand soldiers were tortured and all died in battle. !"

As soon as the words fell, the officials burst into exclamations.
